Frequently asked questions

How do I determine the right size shaft for my boat?

Measure the distance from the water line to the top of your bow, using the point at which your motor will be mounted. Add 20 inches to this measurement. The result is the minimum recommended shaft length for your boat.

The maximum height the boat can sit out of the water for the 54" shaft is 34 inches.
The maximum height the boat can sit out of the water for the 60" shaft is 40 inches.
The maximum height the boat can sit out of the water for the 72" shaft is 52 inches.

How is the RECON trolling motor deployed?

RECON is deployed and stowed manually via a riveted latch system designed for smooth operation and long-term durability.

Can I use the trolling motor in shallow water?

Yes, RECON is designed to take you wherever the fish are.

What additional accessories or features are compatible with the RECON trolling motor?

Those seeking additional control at the bow can integrate the Lowrance wireless foot pedal. Despite its branding, the product works seamlessly with Simrad RECON. Please note the Lowrance nosecone is NOT compatible with the Simrad trolling motor.

Which Simrad MFDs are compatible with the RECON trolling motor?

NSS® & NSO® evo3 and evo3S are currently compatible with RECON.
NSX® & NSX® ULTRAWIDE will be compatible in early 2025.

Will the mounting holes match a MotorGuide® (Xi5/Xi3) & Ghost® trolling motors?

The mounting holes match the MotorGuide Xi5 and Xi3 mounting holes, but they do not align with Ghost models. When installing, it's important to ensure that the shaft is positioned at least 1 inch away from the rub rail when the trolling motor is deployed.
